Our design team is trying to use Material guidelines in an upcoming app. I needed to remind them that while there are good elements in the guidelines, there is a lot that isn't good and they need to leave those parts behind. This certainly reinforces that feeling for me.
lol, downvoted for expressing anti-Material sentiment.
Google design guidelines as put in place by Google are hit-or-miss. Just look at switching between accounts on say, Google Analytics. Multiple view refreshes and double the user actions to do what once could be done from the same view with a click to logout and a click to login followed by typing your credentials.
